I think that the Norris candidates are a joke this year. Suter? He was a huge negative in the beginning of the year, took him a ridiculously long time to get his first goal. Letang, ok, he played well when he wasn't injured. Subban? He has the skills but the kid is just a doofus.

I did, he was a negative player for much of the beginning of the season. He picked it up to finish but I just feel the whole group is lacking the dominance that the Norris represented when Lidstrom and the likes were winning it.

dez, for the record. I dont want him to win. I love his skill. Absolutely hate his extras.

I think this is Suter's year , with Letang missing some time due to injuries... might hurt his chances . there is no denying Subban's skill set, I think most people would like to see him cut out the garbage that overshadows his talent.

Suter shouldn't have a slow start held against him. He moved to a new city and organization and that often takes players awhile to become acclimatized. He logged more minutes than any other player in the league and his play was the biggest reason the Wild are in the playoffs. Shupe, nobody's surprised PK is a finalist. It's a short season in which he had a good 30 game stretch. The sad thing is that it's just a popularity contest so he could actually win it. Like I told you earlier in the year, I like the way Ekman Larson played too. He's the only other guy (aside from Chara) that I feel deserved to be a finalist. Oh well, it'd be funny if PK wins especially considering how poorly he's performing now that it matters. He's currently making Bergevin look like a genius for not caving to his demands at the start of the season.

Suter going to a new organization and like everyone else not having much of a training camp played a part in his slow start numbers wise. Boy does Shea Weber ever miss him. Letang is terriic, playing on that team can only help your numbers. Antics aside, I think Subban had the best year of the three. Montreal won the division when many didn't think they would qualify for the playoffs, and he was a big reason.

Dez,

I think we are all surprised hes a finalist. Me included. His play is outstanding. He will be laughing and cashing in bigtime. Bergevin may have won the fight but PK will win the war on this. I can't stand PK...But love his skill. I'd say Keith should be in the mix as well.

I hope Suter will wn ..but if I had to bet $1000 I would put my money on Subban ....he is a showoff ...I hate him but would love to have him on my team just for the PP ....he moves the puck quickly on the PP just like Krug ...he releases his shot quickly ..(thats what Chra should do) and 90% of his shots are on target...he is not that great defensively , takes stupid décisions sometimes ...and he should'nt try to kill someone like he does most of the time with his monster bodychecks ..(he hurt Marchand 3 years ago) ...Emelin does the same thing and look what happened to him wen he tried on LOOCH .....same thing will happen to PK ...and thtiswy most o the player hate him.
